Watching that trailer for "Madame Web" and I realized I really don't care for Dakota Johnson. First off in those horrid 50 Shades movies then everything else I've seen her in she's been annoying and non-emotive. She's boring. Plus she's a "nepobaby", she could f off and spend her parents money and leave those roles to someone far more talented.

She's fantastic in the Suspira remake and the La Piscine remake A Bigger Splash.

Lot of lists, not a lot of King Ralph. Maybe it’s just a bit too cerebral for most.

What’s to think about? Jake Gyylenhaal=Awesome. The original Roadhouse=Awesome (in it’s own way)
It’s a no brainer.

I will watch it as soon as it’s available.

I watched an amazing hidden gem of a sci Fi film The 13th Floor which came out the same year as the Matrix and it deals with virtual reality and asking questions about what is reality.

The film is set in 1999 and this company has created a virtual reality simulation where users can go back to 1930s LA. In this VR, all the other people have thoughts and dreams and believe they are alive. When the head of the company is killed, his associate has to plug in and find clues to his murder in the VR.

I don't want to spoil too much, but this film was really well done, a great mix of noir and sci Fi and had it come out in 1998 we would probably all know about it.

I love that movie. So overshadowed by the matrix because they came out about the same time.

I just realized I posted that Road House trailer in the wrong thread... and then noticed it's already been posted in that thread lol.

As for the lists of comedies people are posting... I'm seeing an unsettling lack of Get Him to the Greek being mentioned.
